Video and photographs of the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam taken by Eugene Taylor and Abraham Krikorian in November 2013. These tunnels are approximately 200 kilometers long and were hand dug by the Viet Minh and later by the Viet Cong using crude tools. The incredible ingenuity and determination on the part of the Vietnamese in fighting for independence and unification is reflected throughout the tunnel complex.

Have you learnt any of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean languaget. It's really tough. The same goes for a Vietnamese to learn English. This tour guide spent long hrs on end to learn English. Naturally he read or/& watched Hollywood a lot for his English skill & these American spices found their way into his narratives to certain extent. He may also rely on American goodwill for handsome tips. So good narratives are usually a combo of facts & fiction. It's good for entertainment.

They're willing to examine the most hellish moments of their lives at an arms length so they can better understand the history and tactics. That's humbling, honestly.

@@ScreenHackTV freedom of *speech* , no more no less. After all, Vietnam was never a democracy, not even the old RVN was, it was just anti-communist and thats it If they try anything like that then it counts as potential threats to the government and the unified country. Creating an illegal party/faction against them, AKA classified as traitors. And communist or no, Vietnamese have never been anything but brutal towards traitors(there was a tradition to kill *three generations of the traitor, them, their son, and their parents* ). Yes our government isnt perfect, but they havent made any stupid moves (yet) either, so having the flag of the old RVN instead of a unified communist VietNam isnt something they gonna stand for. And trust me, them getting jailed isnt really that much better than not being jailed cuz if people find out (excluding the old regime supporters which is like one or two percent of the population) that they arent jailed yet then they're gonna get boycotted and to oblivion.

According to Columbia University's Asia for Educators, Vietnam has a 5,000 year history of successfully fighting off all the foreign invaders to protect their independence and freedom. Library of Congress also noted that despites their 3 attempts to invade Vietnam, the most powerful Mongol Empires in the 13th century were bitterly defeated by the Vietnamese. This video tells just a small part of the bloodiest War of the last century, but it truly makes Vietnam's history more intriguing.

@Meldrop A false fact actually. In Resistance against American invasion, well over 58000 US troops KIA and more than 330000 other contain physical wounds, not counted psychological and Dioxin-poisoned ones in. It also costs Americans 7.2 million tons of bombs compared to 2.5 million used by them for the whole World War 2 all over the globe. Numbers speak itself, but here we have another problem: American and their allies have a favourite of multiplying People’s Army of Vietnam plus Liberation Army of South Vietnam’s death toll by factor of 2, 5, 10 or even higher in each battle, which included mostly unarmed civilians by the way. US killing Vietnamese people? Just count it in the “Viet Cong” part and then, boom, problem solved. Also, with little to no naval fleet, a small air force, no strategic nuclear weapons and numerous disadvantages, in the corrected counting after negated those irrelevant forces, SUPRISINGLY, death rate of PAVN and LASV are the same as US Armed Forces. This can be proven through battles where American tactical advantages were unavailable like when we reached as close to them as possible without being detected then opened fire, to force them not using their airstrikes (it will kill themselves too, mutually assured destruction at battle scale); or when our permanent force fired artillery shells aiming American ammunition storage inside their base successfully to set back imbalancement in equipments from their beneficial to a more “neutral” status first, before main tanks-and-AFV-supported attack waves launched; for example.

20. *Years.* of digging with improvised tools and moving the soil by handmade basket.... 200km of tunnels connecting countless villages. The Vietnamese could not understand how we as Americans, who's freedom and nation was born of guerilla warfare, could not use that experience to fight the Vietnamese and beat them at their own game. They believed we would continue that practice and tradition and keep that knowledge close to heart and mind when engaging in any warfare as it was essential and life saving before. I love how these people think and fight. It don't matter who came, the Chinese, the Khmer, The Japanese, the French, the Americans and their allies, these people stood up and fought for their independence and stood against all odds and even against seemingly unending and daily combat. 50 years or more of day to day struggle. I'm in awe of these people and their resolve. Deepest respect!

I made a lot of great friends that took me around way off the beaten path. When I went there was no U.S. embassy in HCM, no Americans anywhere. I went to many Villages and was told I was the first white to walk in, and some the first American since the war. Everyone there treated me like a king. Some former Viet Cong found out I was in their village, and that I was not only an American but also an American soldier. They invited me to their homes to eat. I went back several times. I had to bribe the police so I could travel throughout Vietnam 😂. It was worth it. Such a beautiful country with amazing people.

You should definitely go. It will bring a sharp focus to how utterly idiotic the war was when you see, first hand, what the US Govt of the 70s was trying to prevent happening has actually become a stable, prospering country that lives in peace. I guarantee that every single American who visits Vietnam today will think the "American War" was utter lunacy. Hindsight is brutal, undeniable and dispassionate.

Keep in mind, we lost the war. The AMERICANS lost the war as well. It was not a good war, the only victor was capitalist greed and communism. Shoes and many more products are made in Vietnam, e.g. many Nike shoes. Remember that not every Viet was a commie, seriously, remember that. There was the Viet Cong, NVA, and the ARVN in Vietnam. Please don't generalize the Viets then as all commies, that's despicable. You know the Americans helped the ARVN too right? There were good Vietnamese people and soliders. Keep your ignorant ass off the internet please.

A lot of Americans bleat on about how ruthless the vietnamese people were during the war but for christ sake the Americans invaded these peoples country what did they expect a warm welcome . And what about the atrocities the Americans inflicted on these people Agent orange for instance ,Cluster bombs and a few more .I remember visiting the tunnels on one occasion and an American woman was crying asking for forgiveness I think that speaks volumes

We went through hell during that war an our government did nothing to help. Like I said earlier we coulda won that war in less than 6months if we we're station further to the north. But instead they stationed our soldiers in the south. It brought them money and that's all they wanted. They didn't care about the 500000+ men that were killed. They didn't care that they were sending 18yo boys out there as bait for the Vietcong. All They wanted was the money. It was 100% ran by politics. And that's a true fact

I spent 1967-1968 with the 25th as an infantryman in the surrounding trees, bush around Cu Chi and Dau Tieng. We swept 10k a day through the Michelin Rubber tree plantation as well as triple canopy bamboo that was so thick point had to cut paths through. Best day of my life was when I left Viet Nam after my year was up. I was fortunate. 50,000 were not. I was 19 yrs old. As such, could not even see this whole video....

Old folks on a lesson tour. Trying to not slip on the stairs that have no handrail. We're all getting old it seems. I had a high lottery number and didn't have to serve, others did, I'm sorry. The Vietnamese were just fighting against foreign domination, like the ununiformed american patriots of the 1770's. The hatchet is buried.
